Syncretic religion seems nice at first glance, but almost all actually existing syncretic religions are goofy scams and deeply reactionary.

eh, a few established religions are syncretic to some extent. islam identifies itself as a purified form of judaism and incorporates elements of christianity, baha'i draws on those two plus islam. when you're fusing hinduism and islam tho it's p obvious you're making poo poo up

obviously christianity and islam are theologically incompatible, that's why islam is it's own religion and not a sect of christianity. but both are (for example) monotheistic religions based around revelatory knowledge given by/to a human founder. it's significantly different from claiming to bridge a fundamentally monotheistic religion like islam with an overwhelmingly polytheistic one like hinduism

Ram Rahim Singh's lawyers had argued in the court that he should be let off with a milder sentence because he was "suffering from hypertension, acute diabetes and severe backache"

lol "you can't give a harsh sentence to this guy who claims to be god because he's he's a huge fat slob"
